Chapter 175 Background
"It's not a small boast. Our family has set up a stall on this street since my father. Seriously, it has a history of more than 20 years!
"Although there is no official booth, the things in our house are high quality and cheap, and everyone around praises them!
"Including this White Horse Academy! Even the students of this White Horse Academy often find time to come here. It's only class time, and I can still chat with you two. If I really wait until the end of get out of class, tsk..."

As he said that, the peddler waved his hand, showing a bit embarrassed look.It seemed that his family's business was really as hot as he described.

Chi Xinian listened to his bragging words, but did not refute.

After thinking for a while, he said: "If your house really has such delicious food, we've come to the right place! But... it's the first time for us and my wife to come back, and there are a dozen kinds of snacks in your stall, and we don't know which one is delicious …

"How about that, just now I saw an academy student buy a lot from you, he should be a regular customer, right? You can give us and my wife what he bought!"

"Yo, you really know how to choose people!" Speaking of the customer just now, the hawker got excited again, "The master is a good eater!"

"Oh? Why did you eat it?" Chi Xinian seemed interested.

"He, don't look at him as a wealthy family, and he has an uncle who is an official, but he comes to my stall every day to buy snacks.

"In his own words, food is not about being precious or beautiful, but about the taste!" the peddler said triumphantly, "Although my stall is small, but the taste is first-class, he is willing to come every day!"

The wealthy party?Have an uncle who is an official?
Chi Xinian and Yan Chujing looked at each other, and at the same time silently wrote down these two key points.

After he knew what he knew, Chi Xinian went on to say: "Yo, then he is still the son of an official? He has never eaten or seen anything, and he comes to your place every day? Why do I not believe it?"

"What did I lie to you for?" Seeing that Chi Xinian didn't want to believe it, the peddler quickly defended himself, "He is studying in the academy next door, and he doesn't see you when he looks up. I can't make up stories about whoever I make up. .

"Besides, that young master is famous for his generous spending. You only need to inquire with the people around you a little, and you will know whether what I say is true or not."

"What he said is true." Before Chi Xinian could ask the people around him for confirmation, the uncle who sold lo mei at the stall next door stretched his neck and gossiped with the two of them, "That young master, surnamed Xu and named Dexing, is The only baby son of Zhou Dashan in Lin County.

"The Xu family is the richest businessman in Lin County, and the head of the family has a brother who is the county magistrate.

"This ostentation, tsk... It is no exaggeration to say that it is a wealthy gentry!"

"Magistrate Xu of Lin County..." Yan Chujing carefully searched for the corresponding person in his mind based on the clues provided by the hawker.

As for the county magistrate surnamed Xu, he was sure that there was no such person in the counties adjacent to Kyoto.But Xu's surname is not a common surname, and he quickly found another clue in his mind-there was a county magistrate Xu who was promoted at the beginning of the year.

He was originally the county magistrate of Jialing County, because he performed well in the flood disaster the year before, so at the beginning of this spring, whenever there was a vacancy, he was asked to fill it.

Now, he should be serving in the yamen under the Ministry of Officials.

Ministry of officials...

Yan Chujing squinted his phoenix eyes, and there was an indescribable expression in his eyes.
